Wines made from Charmont grapes of Bonvillars
Discover the best wines made with Charmont as a single variety or as a blend of Bonvillars.
Aromatic, structured dry whites with a pale golden robe, an ample palate and preserved acidity of refined white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), yellow fruits (peach, pear), citrus and mineral notes. An elegant profile between chasselas and chardonnay. Grown in French-speaking Switzerland for modern cuvées and identity blends. Swiss grape created in 1965 at Pully by André Jaquinet (chasselas × chardonnay).
AOC of northern Vaud (Switzerland, ~190 ha), south-facing slopes over Lake Neuchâtel, calcareous soils, temperate climate. Chasselas is the signature white king: fine and mineral with citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a chalky touch, taut palate with discreet perlant, thirst-quenching. Airy spiced Pinot Noir as elegant red. Gamaret and Garanoir as complements.
